The Washington State Dept. of Commerce will lead a delegation of companies to the annual Consumer Electronics Show (CES), taking place in Las Vegas next Tuesday through Thursday.
The delegation of six companies includes robotic barista maker Artly — a Seattle-based startup founded in 2020 in a bid to use tech to make the perfect cup of coffee — and others.
“We work with interested companies to discuss strategy and fit for each [trade] show, and tailor outreach to companies with the most potential for success,” said Julie Monahan, the department’s international trade and export assistance lead for the IT sector. “We are particularly keen to have companies able and interested in doing business globally.”
The agency’s CES booth is funded in part by a trade promotion grant from the U.S. Small Business Administration and reflects its commitment to helping small businesses increase their international sales.
“In general, companies with a global client base are more resilient, stay in business longer and grow faster — good for them and good for the state!” Monohan said.
